    HELP WITH WHEEL RIMS NEEDED

    I’m doing up a ‘59 series 2 88’ and I’m starting to doubt the wheel rims that I inherited.
    Stamped on the rim is the following:
    5.5FHX16 ROK
    12/68 3318D
    I’m guessing that 12/68 is a date of manufacture.. Correct? And, if it is then they would seem to be the wrong rims for a 1959 Series 2.
    What are the right rims, and how will I know them when I stub my toe on them?
    Thanks
    John

    Unless your doing a rivet perfect restoration and have to have the right year wheels, they’ll be fine. Chuck a set of 650/16’s on them and you’ll be right. Although I could be wrong I think they all look almost the same externally and should fit fine, unless you’re planning on a disc brake conversion, then the early riveted rims won’t clear the calipers.
    If you need to contact me please email [email protected] - thanks - Gav.

    Dinty posted this, in a previous thread.

    Land Rover rims are all 5.50 x 16" and stamped as such;(not including alloy rims or R/Rover cause I dont know anything about them)
    231601-- 88" (swb rim)
    272309-- 109" (lwb rim) all the ex-mil L/rovers (Series type) were all fitted with 272309 regardless of wheelbase
    AYG8038--ROH ?? 109" Series 3
    FV 2000727-- 110's (FV= fighting vehicle)
    back to the 109 rim 272309 this rim is offset 1 13/16", then a weird rim comes along and is stamped 568966 and the offset on this one is 1 5/16".

    I have another listing somewhere, as that didnt help you.

    found this.
    Land Rover wheels and lug nuts
